Christopher Urban decided not to plead like so many predators do, but his decision to fight his own guilt didn't change the expected end result. He was found guilty of a felony, attempted lewd act with child under the age of 14, in a jury trial. He was sentenced to a year in jail (with some credit for time served) and three years probation. He also must pay a bevy of fees and fines, had to register as a sex offender, and the terms of his parole and probation are very strict. Importantly, he cannot communicate with minors and his computer and internet usage are heavily monitored and regulated.
